Raudondvaris Castle, Renaissance castle in Raudondvaris, Lithuania.

The red brick palace stands on an elevated bank of the Nevėžis River, featuring a round tower and Gothic Revival architectural elements.

The original castle, mentioned in Teutonic chronicles in 1392, was presented by Grand Duke Sigismund II Augustus to his wife Barbara Radziwiłł in 1549.

The castle houses collections dedicated to the Tyszkiewicz family and Lithuanian composer Juozas Naujalis, presenting regional noble history and musical heritage.

The castle serves as a cultural center hosting exhibitions and events, with guided tours available through the Lithuanian Institute of Melioration.

The palace once contained an art collection with works attributed to Leonardo da Vinci and Caravaggio before World War I changed its function.
